Croatia sailing cruises
With dozens of islands scattered off the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia was simply made for sailing
It’s no mystery why Croatia has become the darling of Europe, what with its perfect blend of Old-World charm and youthful exuberance. After all, this is the place where tumbledown villages still make wine by hand, ancient royal palaces become breezy open-air piazzas, and a pulsing underground night scene means you can shout ‘zivjeli’ till sunrise. It just so happens that your best ticket to see all of this is also at the prow of a boat, hopping from island to island and closing out the day with drinks by the Adriatic.Â

Croatia sailing highlights
Get lost in Split’s Diocletian Palace
Once the ancient palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD, this tangle of cobbled streets and narrow lanes is ripe for exploration. Get lost searching for the perfect gelato, rub shoulders with the locals in trendy closet-sized bars and climb the steps of the Cattedrale di San Domino for spectacular views over town. In the warmer months, the sound of live opera and classical music rings through the city’s whitewashed squares. Â
Walk the walls of Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik’s biggest claim to fame might be its starring role in the cult TVs series Game of Thrones, but when you’re done walking the ramparts you’ll find the city’s real charm rests in the details. There’s laneway restaurants still serving family recipes, cliffside bars to while away the day, literal underground nightclubs thumping till the wee hours and centuries of history to be unearthed at every corner.
Live the high life in Hvar
Come summer expect to see this luxurious port brimming with fancy yachts and fun-loving partygoers. At 20,000 visitors a day, Hvar is undoubtedly one of the most popular islands in Croatia. But what more can you expect from an island that also holds the official title as the sunniest place in the country? Find out for yourself at the marina’s swanky restaurants and trendy restaurants, or escape the fuss and soak up the views from Hvar Town’s iconic hilltop fortress.
Wine and dine in Korcula
If Hvar is the domain of glamour and decadence, then Korcula is the quiet retreat for those seeking a different pace. This is where you’ll find time-honoured traditions and folk music, secluded coves are dotted along the southern coast and a thriving viticulture that’s a treat for budding sommeliers. Spend the day eating your way through the island’s laneway cafes and, come evening, try and catch a performance of the island’s unique Moreska sword dance (usually seen between June and September).

Montenegro Sailing Adventure from Dubrovnik
Benjamin · Traveled August 2024
This is a great trip to get a taste of Croatia and Montenegro, experience life on a real sailboat, and see some beautiful scenery. The skipper was informative and flexible, and was always willing to accommodate our requests. The itinerary is varied and dynamic, without being rushed, and I really feel like I was able to learn a bit about this part of the world that wouldn't have been possible just coming on my own. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the Bay of Kotor and Dubrovnik from the sea.

I am happy for you to distill one from the above and send it to me for approval - I am under pressure now to finish this rather long questionnaire

I highly recommend this trip, it’s a great way to explore the islands. Our skipper was great, stopping at swimming spots, recommendations and sharing his knowledge. So go with an open mind about the group and itinerary - it’s a relatively small space, there’s weather and the unexpected, if you can do that you’ll love it.

I would recommend this trip for anyone that wants to experience the freedom and peace of being on a beautiful boat sailing around the Croatian Islands......and the swimming locations cannot be explained, they have to be seen and experienced to believe!
